Recognized internationally as one of the most dashing and skilled dramatic actors
in Hollywood today, Golden Globe Award nominee PIERCE BROSNAN (Sam)
received a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a
Motion Picture for his role as Julian Noble in the critically acclaimed film The Matador
in 2005. Additionally, he received a nomination for this performance for Best Actor in a
Lead Role from the Irish Film & Television Academy Awards.

Most recently, Brosnan starred with Chris Cooper and Patricia Clarkson in
Married Life for director Ira Sachs. The film is a 1940s-set drama about a married man
who cheats and, to spare his wife the shame of a divorce, plots to kill her.

In addition to his work in front of the camera, Brosnan has always had an interest
in the art of filmmaking. Having achieved international stardom as an actor, Brosnan
expanded the range of his film work by launching his own production company, Irish
DreamTime, in 1996, along with producing partner Beau St. Clair.

Apart from The Matador, Irish DreamTime has produced five other films to date:
The Nephew (1998), The Thomas Crown Affair (1999), Evelyn (2002), Laws of Attraction
(2004) and Shattered (2007). The company's first studio project, The Thomas Crown
Affair, was a critical and box-office success and one of the best-reviewed and
highest-grossing
romantic thrillers in years. Evelyn, directed by Bruce Beresford, opened to
critical acclaim at the Chicago and Toronto international film festivals and also garnered
rave reviews. Laws of Attraction, a romantic comedy that teamed Brosnan with Julianne
Moore, focused on dueling divorce attorneys who fall in love. Shattered is a
psychological thriller in which Brosnan stars with Maria Bello and Gerard Butler.

Upcoming projects for Irish DreamTime include the second installment of The
Thomas Crown Affair.

Perhaps best known worldwide as James Bond, Brosnan reinvigorated the
popularity of the Bond legacy in box-office blockbusters such as GoldenEye (1995),
Tomorrow Never Dies (1999), The World Is Not Enough (1999) and Die Another Day
(2002). Brosnan's first three Bond films earned more than a billion dollars at the
international box office and Die Another Day alone garnered almost a half-billion dollars
worldwide.

In addition to his four Bond films, three other Brosnan films—The Thomas
Crown Affair, Dante's Peak (1997) and The Lawnmower Man (1992), combined, have
earned hundreds of millions of dollars internationally, cementing him as one of the
world's most-bankable stars.

Some of his many accolades include the 2007 Golden Camera Award for his
environmental work, a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2002 Chicago Film Festival,
the International Star of the Year at the Cinema Expo International in Amsterdam, an
Honorary Doctorate of Arts from the Dublin Institute of Technology, an Honorary
Doctorate from the University College Cork and an Order of the British Empire bestowed
by Her Majesty the Queen.

Brosnan was born in County Meath, Ireland, and moved to London at age 11. At
20, he enrolled in drama school and while in London, performed in several West End
stage productions including Franco Zeffirelli's Fulimena and Tennessee Williams' The
Red Devil Battery Sign at the York T
